According to <em><a target="_blank" href="http://evans.evpl.org/search/t?SEARCH=chase&#39;s%20cal">Chase&#39;s Calendar of Events</a></em> (2009), &quot;Although books bound in soft covers were first introduced in 1841 at Leipzig, Germany by Christian Bernhard Tauchnitz, the modern paperback revolution dates to the publication of the first Penguin paperback by Sir Allen Lane at London, England, in 1935.&quot;
